FREE Online Resource on Standards Based Texts and Images For English and History From University of Virginia

As teachers in 46 states continue to develop expertise in the implementation of the new common core standards, they will require access to a wide range of informational and non-informational texts to draw from. With public school funding still weak at best, teachers will probably turn to the internet to support their efforts. Often times, such searches demand quite a bit of time from their already busy schedules. So, what is a teacher to do?

Here are some free resources which both English and history teachers will surely appreciate. Reading materials found here come from both fiction and non-fiction including, but not limited to, poetry,
drama, and letters. History teachers will also appreciate material from newspapers, manuscripts and illustrations from 1500 to
the present. It is quite an impressive collection--one that will intrigue students to do that focused reading which will lead to many discoveries on their part. Such reading leads to making them more independent learners, and such skills transfer to succeeding in both college and the business world.

Remember also that our website and this blog contain many more additional support materials to make a teacher's job a bit easier:)

About Me

I am an educator, adjunct professor, educational consultant, and teacher trainer who has been meeting the many language needs of non-native speakers of English for close to 30 years. I continue to love what I do as much as I did when I first entered the ELD classroom (ELD in California, but ESL everywhere else). What I hope to do here is to share successes, failures, hopes, frustrations, etc. in trying to teach these students. It is my hope that many teachers will join and share as well. What we can do here will benefit us all, but especially the ELL.
